I had a great session in Corolla with this cutie. She really didn’t want to stay still; and who could blame her when there’s so much to see on the beach?! I got some shots as she went zooming by, trying to look at and touch everything on the shore. In the end I did get some posed shots of her, her family and other breakdowns of the group. But my favorites are the ones where she flashed a quick smile as she played on the beach.

Now that the weather is getting colder I find myself reminiscing. There are so many happy memories from this summers’ sessions. Audra and I are just a couple of big kids ourselves. Getting to play and laugh with happy families all summer makes us happy!

The running is what keeps us in shape…

Memories of happy hugs keep us warm all winter!

Remembering when we got stampeded by fast kiddos makes us laugh!

This summer was full of hugs, races and some of the funnest silliness I’ve ever seen!

When the ocean is so rough that the sand at the shore break is making a cliff out of the sand and the sea spray is OUT OF CONTROL, you might think… Maybe this won’t be the best night for family portraits!? Insert the “H” family!

I had such a great time with this sweet family and the very brave kiddos made this session amazing! These images are one of a kind and we all love the big SPLASH photos!
